The Red Pills: 238 Must See Talks, Documentaries & Movies

If you are like me, and you watch all of the documentaries and movies on this list, you will never see the world the same way again. Instead, you'll begin to see the very matrix we are born into, and even get a glimpse of who created it, how, and why. To peek behind this curtain is to see the common thread of power, money, lies, and control, that all work together like a well oiled machine - much of it designed as war for profit - that runs virtually everything. 

As explained by Smedley Darlington Butler, the United States Marine Corps major general, which was the highest rank authorized at that time and who was, at the time of his death, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history: "War is a racket," and  "is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious" means of making money humanity has ever come up with. "It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives."  As Butler went on to explain in his book, War Is A Racket in1935:

"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

   

If nothing else, the movies below allowed me to see just how little I really knew or understood about the world around me. And how so much of the greed and death in our world is only possible by necessarily keeping people in the dark. These movies are not offered as the bedrock of absolute truth, since no such bedrock may exist or be possible to discern by fallible beings, but instead provide simply a variety of different yet highly illuminating perspectives on the world and history.  Put simply, these movies, in the words of Bob Marley, helped me "light up the darkness."

(T)ERROR is the first documentary to place filmmakers on the ground during an active FBI counterterrorism sting operation. Through the perspective of "Shariff," a 63-year-old Black revolutionary turned informant, viewers get an unfettered glimpse of the government's counterterrorism tactics and the murky justifications behind them. Taut, stark and controversial, (T)ERROR illuminates the fragile relationships between individual and surveillance state in modern America, and asks who is watching the watchers?

20.  Banana Land: Blood Bullets and Poison - The Disconnect: For consumers, bananas are a delicious and nutritious start to the day, a healthy snack and a fixture in our fruit bowls.

The most controversial part of TTIP is ISDS: investor-state dispute settlement. ISDS will make it possible for companies to sue governments that damage their investments. But is this arbitrage system where a few investment lawyers decide over billions of taxpayers money a protection of our business interests, or a threat to our democracy?

64.  The Cross of the Moment - The Cross of the Moment investigates the environmental crisis in a wholly original and stimulating fashion. This feature-length documentary expresses an urgent need to correct the ill effects of climate change and environmental degradation, and explores the major stumbling blocks which have kept governments and the masses from becoming more active in finding solutions.

It all begins with the Fermi paradox. Surrounded by a universe many billions of years older than our own planet, isn't it reasonable to assume that extra-terrestrial life must exist? If so, why haven't we seen evidence of it? A panel of experts, including figures from the fields of academics and science, begin their journey of exploration by mulling over this contradiction. One possible explanation may lie in the miraculously complex series of factors which make our planet uniquely positioned to sustain life.

65.  HUBRIS: Selling the Iraq War - How Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, and Wolfowitz, and director of CIA George Tenet, started a war to make money using the biggest pack of lies in history, about yellowcake, aluminum tubes, "curve-ball" and WMDs.  (Iraqi scientist Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi codenamed "Curveball", admitted in February 2011, that he lied to the CIA about biological weapons in order to get the US to attack and remove Hussein from power.) Lawrence Wilkerson (Chief of Staff to Colin Powell from 2002-2005)l for example, wrote that Colin Powell walked into his office and said "I wonder what will happen when we put 500,000 troops in Iraq and comb the country from one end to the other and find nothing."

74.  Countdown to Zero - Although the Cold War is behind us, the threat of nuclear disaster remains very real. Director Lucy Walker discusses the invention of the atomic bomb and brings the story into the present day, examining the possibility of nuclear calamity under the categories of "Madness," "Accident" and "Miscalculation." This film looms heavy in the debate of pursuing ever more reliance on nuclear energy, since such a reliance increasingly produces the material ad technology, and thus increasingly opens the door, to the development and potential use of nuclear weapons.  It’s like saying a hand gun makes a good hammer, despite the fact they can also be used as a weapon.

75.  Place at the Table

76.  Deep Water Disaster: The Untold Story

77.  Lucent – unblinking visual evidence of these repugnant cruelties, Lucent offers a thoroughly convincing argument that profound change needs to take place within the pig farming industry and within our own consciousness. After all, pigs are self-aware animals with distinct personalities, and an intelligence that surpasses that of man's best friend, the dog

78.  Earthlings - a 2005 American documentary film about humankind's total dependence on animals for economic purposes.  Presented in five chapters (pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research) the film is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, featuring music by Moby, and was written, produced and directed by Shaun Monson. WARNING: This movie, is NOT FOR THE FAINT AT HEART!

79.  Oxyana - Tucked in the Appalachian mountains of Southern West Virginia, Oceana, is a small, once thriving coal-mining town that has fallen victim to the fast spreading scourge of prescription painkiller Oxycontin. As the coal industry slowly declined and times got tough, a black market for the drug sprung up and along with it a rash of prostitution, theft and murder. Soon its own residents had nicknamed the town Oxyana and it began to live up to its reputation as abuse, addiction and overdoses became commonplace. Oxyana is a harrowing front line account of a community in the grips of an epidemic, told through the voices of the addicts, the dealers and all those affected. It is a haunting glimpse into an American nightmare unfolding before our eyes, a cautionary tale told with raw and unflinching honesty

80.  Deep Web: Darknet

81.  Bitcoin: The End of Money

82.  Drone Wars

83.  Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars

84.  Night Will Fall - a 2014 documentary film directed by Andre Singer that chronicles the making of the 1945 British government documentary German Concentration Camps Factual Survey.

86.  Poison Fire - Big Oil's destruction of the Niger Delta 

87.  1945: The Savage Peace - Post WW II Retaliation against Germans -

This documentary focuses on the extrajudicial and organized violence carried out against minorities after World War II, (by America and it's allies) chiefly among them the 10,000,000+ German civilians who were expelled from Eastern Europe after the war and the at least 2,000,000 who fled under pressure from the Soviet advance. Similar events were experienced by Finnish, Polish, Ukrainian, Caucasian, and other minorities in the course of expulsion. The controversial subject of Soviet war rape is explored. Although the Red Cross estimated at least 2,000,000 deaths among German expellees, the more substantial estimate is around 400,000.(HELLSTORM is another film about this, but it was apparently made by an avowed Neo Nazi, who's film I did not wish to direct people toward. His questionable ideas being what they are, however, at least the film documents some of the things that Neo Nazi's are so angry about.)

88.  The Century Of The Self: Controlling The 'Dangerous Crowd' In An Age Of Mass Democracy. How Freud's theories on the unconscious led to the development of public relations by his nephew Edward Bernays; the use of desire over need; and self-actualization as a means of achieving economic growth and the political control of populations.

89.  The Mayfair Set - Looks at the birth of the global arms trade, the invention of asset stripping, and how buccaneer capitalists shaped the Thatcher years, focusing on the rise of Colonel David Stirling, Jim Slater, Sir James Goldsmith and Tiny Rowland—members of the elite Clermont Club in the 1960s.

90.  The Trials of Henry Kissinger – Based on the book by Christopher Hitchens, it indicts Kissinger as a War Criminal for his secret diplomacy during the 1968 peace talks to end the Vietnam War, the secret bombing of Cambodia in the early '70s without congressional authorization, and an alleged U.S.-backed plot to overthrow the leftist government of Chilean leader Salvador Allende.

91.  The Way of All Flesh by Adam Curtis – In 1951, a woman died in Baltimore, America. She was called Henrietta Lacks. These are cells from her body. They were taken from her just before she died. They have been growing and multiplying ever since. There are now billions of these cells in laboratories around the world. If massed together, they would weigh 400 times her original weight. These cells have transformed modern medicine, but they also became caught up in the politics of our age. They shape the policies of countries and of presidents. They even became involved in the cold war because scientists were convinced that in her cells lay the secret to how to conquer death.

92.  The Trap – What Happened to our dream of Freedom - Explores the modern concept of freedom, specifically, "how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom."

93.  The Power of Nightmares  - Suggests a parallel between the rise of Islamism in the Arab world and neoconservatism in the United States, and their mutual need, argues Curtis, to create the myth of a dangerous enemy to gain support.

94.  Pandora’s Box – the Dangers of technocratic and political rationality

95.  All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace - Argues that computers have failed to liberate humanity, and instead have "distorted and simplified our view of the world around us." The title is taken from a 1967 poem of the same name by Richard Brautigan.

106. Flying the Flag: Arming the World: Britain is still a world leader (in selling arms to the world). Indeed it has twenty percent of a world market, second only to the United States. And this industry is considered so important by the government that it consumes almost half of all research and development funds. Strangely it produces not consumer goods that people want, but machines that hardly any of us use or want to use. Moreover, for all its' preeminence, its' future is uncertain and depends to a large degree on secret deals with some of the most corrupt and brutal regimes on Earth.

107. "Oh Dearism, by Adam Curtis, which depicts “the hand-wringing posture we take after seeing or learning about some particularly abhorrent or disgusting aspect of the human condition or what is going on in the world. At the end of the spectacle we shake our heads and say "oh dear" or "Ain't it awful?" but continue on with life as usual. This inevitably leads to resignation -- giving up on possibility on a personal level -- and turns us into what can be described as a spectator society.” From Jim Selman article:

You can't question any of this, btw, because Christ was brutally murdered to PROVE what Religion says is TRUE - DAMN YOU!!

181. ReGeneration (2016) - How technology makes us increasingly ADD, and thus makes us less capable of focusing long enough on any one issue or idea to exercise deep critical thinking, while thereby also diluting our ability to empathize with anyone but ourselves.

182. Network (1976) - A trenchant satire of trash TV, Network seems to grow only more relevant with each passing year.

195. The Geopolitics of World War III - about how the Federal Reserve is itself a rouge agency, that operates like a black box, without any check on whatever economic thumbscrews it chooses to apply to America; how America's war for oil is really about it's currency being pinned to oil (hence, "petro dollars"), and how a system based on pure debt based currency (as opposed to a currency based on gold, for example, which Nixon unpegged from the dollar in 1973) results in a perennial addiction to economic growth. And when your entire system runs on consumption, that means we must literally eat ourselves to death in order for the economy to stay alive.

212 COMMAND AND CONTROL: the long-hidden story of a deadly accident at a Titan II missile complex in Damascus, Arkansas in 1980. Based on the critically-acclaimed book by Eric Schlosser, this chilling documentary exposes the terrifying truth about the management of America’s nuclear arsenal and shows what can happen when the weapons built to protect us threaten to destroy us. Filmed in a decommissioned Titan II missile silo in Arizona, the documentary features the minute-by-minute accounts of Air Force personnel, weapon designers, and first responders who were on the scene that night. Command and Control reveals the unlikely chain of events that caused the accident and the feverish efforts to prevent the explosion of a ballistic missile carrying the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States – a warhead 600 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.

  222. In Defense of Food. Michal Pollan, author of Ominivore's dilemma, presents the argument about why our food is a problem. My take on it is this: our food is a perfect reflection of our culture and especially our economic model; one that basically maximizes profits by creating addicts to a product that companies are only ever incentivized to make ever more cheaply. And that means making food that lasts longer for cheaper. And that means processing it more and more, adding more and more chemical preservatives, and removing all of the parts that cause food to go bad sooner, which just happen to be the same parts that contain most of the vitamins and nutrients.

223: Rachel Carson: 
When Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published in 1962, the book became a phenomenon. A passionate and eloquent warning about the long-term dangers of pesticides, the book unleashed an extraordinary national debate and was greeted by vigorous attacks from the chemical industry. But it would also inspire President John F. Kennedy to launch the first-ever investigation into the public health effects of pesticides — an investigation that would eventually result in new laws governing the regulation of these deadly agents.

 229. Subconscious War -
Subconscious War is a short documentary detailing the impact of media and the culture of violence on the everyday life, and the development of the common principles in society. The film analyzes the works of Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman's hopeless judgments; relating the ideas of pieces such as 'Brave New World' and 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' to the momentary cultural values that promote the corporate media saturation, games, television, and the extensive technoculture.

233. Abolishing Capitalism - At some point, someone was the first person to ask if slavery in America was really constitutional, or even moral, and suggest that it should probably be abolished. And those who ask the same question of capitalism today, since capitalism is simply a system of debt enslavement (no matter how many new forms of entertainment  it can provide to hide this fact), may one day lead humanity to look back upon today and wonder how we had failed  to realize that the Civil War was fought to end only one form of slavery, which held people in bondage with chains of iron, so that  capitalism could enslave us all equally with invisible chains of debt; or how so many people who called themselves "Christians"not only worshiped an economic "golden calf" in their beliefs about "free markets," they had become the new "Hebrews slaves" of the Old Testament, by willingly working, in nearly everything they do, even in using the toilet, to build the pyramids of wealth  their financial pharaohs demand; or even to see how much their own Christian church had surpassed the Sanhedrin in it's refusal to understand the meaning of Christ, especially his admonishment that "the law was made to sere man, not man to sere the law, and for the very same reason - to defend  its power.
